This virtual realities motel rooms 
Host the goings on,  
of affairs and one night stands 
They think they are doing no wrong. 
Incognito the lovers all think they are safe 
and there is a place  
that will cover for them at a costly rate! 

A company in England will sell insurance 
For your marriage to stay in tact. 
They will send your spouse flowers  
While you're 'on that business trip' 
Even provide business luncheon statements  
For your yearly income tax. 

Oh yeah, it's a wonder world of mayhem 
Out there in cyber space,  
with deceit and lies and cursing  
and name calling, love and hate. 
So much trouble and pain 
for those who used to have a life 
when there are jerks with lurks 
Who prey on the emotionally weak. 

Someone steals another's lover 
Then it's on for meek and bold 
The blond with the sexy picture 
Is really seventy one years old. 

I have cried but mostly now I laugh.  
The wrong 'soul mate' taught me how to doubt. 
Deleting key performs its daily task. 
Keeping my sanity on this cyber route.
